7 . Staff at the Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden in south China’s Hainan Province were very busy during this summer holiday, as they were preoccupied with teaching children how to turn cocoa nuts into delicious chocolate. Through this hands-on approach, children gained an understanding of the cocoa plant itself and discovered the art of crafting their very own chocolate.

Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a lot of other problems can appear. Doing homework may not be as fun as     1     (play) video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn’t be something     2     kids hate. Your children’s assignments (任务) should help them build a skill     3     learn something new.

You can help by stepping in to answer questions or offer     4     (encourage). This gives you a chance to see     5     they are learning and how well they understand the material.

Many kids refuse     6     (study) by asking why they have to learn things they’ll never use in real life. If your son or daughter shows little interest, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in     7     (day) life.

If parents feel that their kids are overloaded (超负荷), they can talk about     8     with the teachers. If you think it takes your child too long     9     (finish) homework, try to make a decision whether the problem lies in too much work or managing time     10     (poor).
